MRS. DALE DUBBS
It's a Funny Old Woirld
And we in America are the funniest
of all peoples. We have the world at
our finger tips and yet we are never
satisfied. We are always hankering
for something we haven't got—and
that very characteristic is the foundation of all American progress.
* * * •
We have a great incentive to think,
to work, to grow and to build for ourselves—and we have a greater incentive to plan and build for a fuller and
happier future for our children.
* * * *
We live in the only country in the
world where we can openly criticize
our President, damn our representatives in the nation's capitol, debate
over religious creeds, fight over our
educational system and oiganize common labor.
* * * *
We live in a crazy country and we
enjoy being a little crazy. We like
being out of step with everyone else
and saying and doing as we please.
* * * *
In other countries, people have a
mere existence and they can't afford
to risk their necks patterning after
the crazy example set by our people.
* * * *
In most European countries, progress has been extremely slow. It is
impossible for a lowly person to acquire an.education. Class distinction
has decided for him his mode of living and decreed his place in society.
It has decided the type of clothes he
must wear; w.'nat church, if any, he
xan attend and what sort of labor he
must do, leaving him so little choice
that there is no incentive left except
« plain desire to exist.

Our dad came from what be calls
the '>'01d country" a good many years
ago—with what he called his "belongings" tied in a red kerchief.

lived In one-room houses and If by
any chance they were fortunate enuf
to own a scrubby hog or cow, a shed
was built on to the one-room, .house to
accomodate the crittur. Such a person was a privileged character indeed.
Common eliildren were allowed to attend school until they were 12 years
of age and then they were put out to
■work—and by the way, these children
smartly saluted their teachers when
tbey met them on the street, with all
due respect to a superior person. Oh,
my! How American kids would go
for that. Sweets in the old country
consisted of coffee cake at Christmas
and Easter. The common tailor came
once a year and measured for an allow
ance of one outfit of cheap clothing
per person. For every tree cut down,
a permit was needed and for each tree
cut down a seedling was re-planted.
Every twig was carefully gathered for
fuel for in this country there was no
waste.

the same old rut for there was no opportunity for advancement.

a Utopia called America, where a man
had greater opportunities—and gradually by one's and two's those these
suppressed people from other countries who had an abundance of courage, migrated to the promised land

These people found a new and undeveloped country, but recognized resources galore. There were enumerable opportunities and with determination and incentive and courage these
forefathers of our present generation

Rosebud is eight, and the most
beautiful shade of caramel fudge.
To her loving Mammy and Pappy
she is known, on approximately alternate days, as "Angel" and "You
devil child". It was on her devil-
child days that Rosebud tied the
knots in the shirts that Mammy had
taken in for washing, and poured the
whole of the vanilla bottle into the
lamb stew, just, she said later
through bitter tears, to "flavor it up
some".
On her angel days Rosebud is
equally imaginative even if a more
restful occupant of the little shack
down on Vinegar Hill. Once when
Mammy was out
doing day work,
Rosebud got _ a
wave of cleaning
fever and scoured j
every pot and pan
in the kitchen so
i^|^4S«Sri that they literally
/Tjl^J glistened. Anoth-!
j?\y er day, left alone,;
she tidied up
Mammy's and Pappy's room to such:
a point of apple-pie order that it wasi
a week before Pappy could find an;
undershirt. ;
Rosebud is a great reader of thej
newspapers. Mammy and Pappyj
don't take one, but there are plenty"
of perfectly good newspapers blowing round Vinegar Hill. It was out:
of one of them that Rosebud got her
idea for spending the ten cents the.
Bunny had put under her pillow the:
night her tooth came out. After
breakfast Rosebud disappeared down;
the Hill and reappeared soon after
with a beautiful ten-cent War Stamp
pasted firmly into a brand-new book
with neat little squares for more
stamps.. She displayed her investment to Mammy. "I declare you're
an angel child," Mammy said. Rosebud went on sitting on the kitchen
floor staring with large brown eyes
at the empty squares in her book.
From time to time she took hold of
one or another of her teeth and
wiggled it, gently.
Mammy was engrossed in a particularly big washing. Rosebud was \
as quiet as a mouse and Mammy j
forgot about her until, coming in
from the yard with her arms full of
dry sheets, she encountered her child
with a large hammer in her hand.;
Scenting the devil in her angel child,
Mammy shouted at her, "Rosebud!
Come yere with that hammer! What
you planning on doing?"
But what was done was done. In
Rosebud's other hand was another
tooth. Her mouth was stretched in
a broad if slightly bloody smile. "I
ain't doing nothing, Mammy," she
said. "I'm just filling up my stamp
book."

We can't all he Edisons and Lin-
colns hut we can fill our own little
niche and do a good job of it. And
if we get out of step with the rest of
the world we can still count our many
blessings. We can still choose our
own form of livlihood and we can cuss
the president, congress, schools and la
bor unions—for it is our country right
or wrong and if it'- right let's keep
it right and if it's wrong let's make t
right—but let's keep it our country.
We Americans may be a little crazy
but we are enjoying it an awful lot.

Rosebud is eight, and the most
beautiful shade of caramel fudge.
To her loving Mammy and Pappy
she is known, on approximately alternate days, as "Angel" and "You
devil child". It was on her devil-
child days that Rosebud tied the
knots in the shirts that Mammy had
taken in for washing, and poured the
whole of the vanilla bottle into the
lamb stew, just, she said later
through bitter tears, to "flavor it up
some".
On her angel days Rosebud is
equally imaginative even if a more
restful occupant of the little shack
down on Vinegar Hill. Once when
Mammy was out
doing day work,
Rosebud got _ a
wave of cleaning
fever and scoured j
every pot and pan
in the kitchen so
i^|^4S«Sri that they literally
/Tjl^J glistened. Anoth-!
j?\y er day, left alone,;
she tidied up
Mammy's and Pappy's room to such:
a point of apple-pie order that it wasi
a week before Pappy could find an;
undershirt. ;
Rosebud is a great reader of thej
newspapers. Mammy and Pappyj
don't take one, but there are plenty"
of perfectly good newspapers blowing round Vinegar Hill. It was out:
of one of them that Rosebud got her
idea for spending the ten cents the.
Bunny had put under her pillow the:
night her tooth came out. After
breakfast Rosebud disappeared down;
the Hill and reappeared soon after
with a beautiful ten-cent War Stamp
pasted firmly into a brand-new book
with neat little squares for more
stamps.. She displayed her investment to Mammy. "I declare you're
an angel child," Mammy said. Rosebud went on sitting on the kitchen
floor staring with large brown eyes
at the empty squares in her book.
From time to time she took hold of
one or another of her teeth and
wiggled it, gently.
Mammy was engrossed in a particularly big washing. Rosebud was \
as quiet as a mouse and Mammy j
forgot about her until, coming in
from the yard with her arms full of
dry sheets, she encountered her child
with a large hammer in her hand.;
Scenting the devil in her angel child,
Mammy shouted at her, "Rosebud!
Come yere with that hammer! What
you planning on doing?"
But what was done was done. In
Rosebud's other hand was another
tooth. Her mouth was stretched in
a broad if slightly bloody smile. "I
ain't doing nothing, Mammy," she
said. "I'm just filling up my stamp
book."
